Ruby Chestnut in color and not as heavy as our stout. McGuire's porter will help what ales ya after a hard days work. Chocolate Malt balanced with Willamette Hops gives this full-bodied ale its smooth, distinct flavor.

tap at Mad Anthony Oktoberfest - Pours brown, not even dark brown really, which is odd for a porter. There’s a thin off-white head and a light, roast malt aroma. The flavor is mainly just easy going roast malt with some hops coming through in the finish. Not bad, but it’s less than impressive for a porter.

Pours a perfect clear amber with slightly creamy tan head and spotty. Spot on looking porter in my opinion. The beer is served up too cold so the aroma comes across as meek mustering up notes of mild roasty malts and a hint of dark fruity esters. Not much else in there to pick out. The taste is just like the aroma starting with highly roasted malts that approach burnt mixing with mild dark fruity esters like prunes and figs. Toward midway I get a ripe cherry fruitiness that builds up. The highly roasted maltiness heads off into the finish and well into the after taste. Not much in the way of porter like charred malts in this beer. Very tasty nonetheless.
